Planned giving and gift aid
PLANNED GIVING BY STANDING ORDER TO YOUR PARISH
Due to the Corona Virus Pandemic our Churches have been hit hard by a lack of income and we have been thinking of ways in which this can, to a degree, be prevented in the future. All contributions made by our parishioners are very much appreciated at any time, but the generosity of those of you who have continued to give via Online Banking and Standing Order, during this difficult time, has been valued greatly.
Many of you contribute through Planned Giving Envelopes or loose plate and we are
asking you, if your circumstances allow, to re-consider your way of giving and use
either Online Banking or, if you are not online, the paper standing order method.
The advantages to this are:
- Usually free of charge for both payer and payee
- Quick and easy to set up
- Useful for making recurring contributions
- Helps the Parish to have a reliable income each month to assist in forward planning
- You can increase or decrease your offering at any time by contacting your bank
- List ItemLess cash handling within the parish
- Increased security as less cash being kept on Church premises and being taken to the bank
ONLINE BANKING — Standing Order set up
If you have internet access and online banking, setting up your standing order is
much simpler, and you would need only to include the parish bank details along with
your own details.
